LAMBERT, WRIGHT, VALENTINE, Eli's Creek

slambert@erols.com Melissa E. Lambert Tue, 06 Oct 1998
Found this referenced here: http://www.altlaw.com/jwright/WEB79911.HTM

from "The Literary Era, Vol. VII-1899" regarding the Jonathan Wright, Sr. of Poplar Ridge, Fayette County. Around 1805-1810 Jonathan traded his house and lot on Fourth Street (Cincinnati, OH) with George
Valentine, an Irish Friend, for 160 acres, or more, of land on Eli's Creek, in Fayette County,
Indiana. Here he built a Quaker meeting house was built of large,
straight, hewn poplar logs. He also built a grist mill and saw mill on Eli's Creek. He and his wife were
buried at Poplar Ridge, Indiana.

Does anyone know the history or location of "Eli's Creek?" Eli Lambert (b. m. Elizabeth Connor 1825 in Fayette County) was listed as one of the first settlers of Fayette County. I am trying to find out if the creek was perhaps named after him or any other information about Eli Lambert.

Thank You,

My 3xgreat-grandfather Lemuel Perrin d. Connorsville, Fayette, IN, 9 Jul 1822. His wife was Martha Nash and we don't know if she ever came to IN with her husband. Lemuel was b. 21 Oct 1749 in Rehobeth, Bristol, MASS and married there in 1773. Any information would be most welcome. Do you have cemtery lists for Fayette Co.?
